I could not yell the difference in taste of red and scarlet. Plants look different but fruit are very similar size, color and taste.
If i could grow muscadine grapes, i would prefer them since jabos seeds are larger and hard to separate from pulp.
Do Muscadines not do well in Florida? I’ve seen a few varieties on some online nurseries and have been tempted to get some, but I haven’t yet... my yard’s not well set up to handle vines.The only jaboticaba I was really taken back with in flavor was the mozies. Iv tried quite a few different varieties and they do all have a somewhat common flavor, but the mozies tastes like a sweeter passionfruit easily my favorite jaboticaba!
That sounds intriguing! Which are the mozies?
I bought one and I'll never buy another. Flavor from my home grown pineapple that are ripened on the plant beats the pinkglow, gads even store bought are as good or better.
Much hype over nothing.
I didn't like the taste either. Plus, it is apparently GMO.
Yeah, it's got rna silencing to suppress the normal pigmentation, genes inserted from tangerine for the color, and genes inserted from transgenic tobacco inserted to confer herbicide resistance.
Now do Hawaiian Papaya, haha. I may have year old seeds finally sprouting up everywhere out of nowhere. I read they are GMO.

Hello, does anyone have any updates on Siam Jumbo, how productive, how do you like it? I'm especially interested in how it does in Florida.
Thank you!
I think I'm going to follow Xain's advice and do two white sapote trees in one hole, since I'm out of space. It will actually be 4 trees in 2 holes. The pairing I have planned are:
-Campbell & Younghan's Gold
-Denzler & Fruit Hunter
Anyone think it's a bad idea before I go ahead and plant the second trees in each hole?
Interesting mine started pushing a new growth after rain sas well. I thought i over water it but it looks like it loves those rains...How is everyone doing with growth of the Campbell?
I got a small 3 gallon from Xains 2 months ago and it has not grown at all so far...
Xain suggested to spray some Iron and give it more sun
So I sprayed and added liquid iron to the pot...
It makes sense since White Sapotes are of the citrus family and my Mayer lemon loves iron..
Fingers crossed...
Well well well, I am not sure if its just the time of the season, we also did have a lot of rain lately (I do water my pants by hand), or the additional iron and epsom salt, but all my White Sapotes are throwing new growth. The Campbell was on its last legs, but I see a small offshoot emerging.
